This book is a continuation of my previous work, Like the Wind Across Eight Thousand Miles. It is a reflection on my earlier story and my life today. I’ll keep updating it. The male lead has been renamed Shen Guli, and the female lead is now Gu Xiaoman. Shen Guli was the one who was left with regrets in the first book. Because of Gu Xiaoman’s past relationship troubles, Sheng Chuling did a great many things to her after graduation, leaving her in a terrible bind. The whole affair became a huge spectacle, and Shen Guli heard about it. He came to find Gu Xiaoman again, suddenly reappearing in her life just as she was close to forgetting him. She didn’t know what to do, and memories of all the little moments they had shared came flooding back.
After that, she kept trying to become prettier, slimmer, and more beautiful. She was willing to wait for him, hoping he would turn back to her. But Xiaoman forgot that she had always been beautiful, slim, tall, and outstanding. Whenever she thought of Shen Guli, she felt she wasn’t good enough, talented enough, pretty enough, or thin enough. It had been a long time since she had felt so small, yet whenever she was in front of him, she still felt there was nothing good about her. What she didn’t know was that, in everyone else’s eyes, she had always been exceptional.
Gu Xiaoman’s story in this book is based on my own experience, since my nickname is Manman. It mainly tells how a girl who becomes insecure while depressed because she likes a boy goes through many things, then, with the help of her college roommates, teachers, and confidants, learns to see herself anew. Little by little, she grows stronger, becomes a better version of herself, and builds her own life. The story is still unfolding...
